Thanks, but it still doesn't answer the question: """ As Samuel pointed it out, this unfortunately may break a number of things in Buildroot. They are packages that depend on host-python, and would only be capable of using an Python 2.x host-python. Or at least, I would like to have the confirmation that all packages that depend on host-python continue to build normally when host-python is Python 3. That said, some packages are not really clear about this. For example, Scons uses the Python provided with the distribution, and not the host-python built by Buildroot. As you can see, this is not a trivial topic.
